All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.

if you are a democrat about to say some shit about protestors being violent instead of Abolish ICE kindly shut the fuck up

sitting in my apartment firing off missives instructing protesters on the morally correct way to respond when they’re fired on by federal forces

yo Schiff there is no way out of the wilderness that involves you scolding protestors while people are literally being fucking kidnapped off streets in the US

You can aggressively enforce laws prohibiting immigration and segregating people by place of birth or you can have a free society with civil liberties, but you ultimately can't have both. Such a policy by its very nature requires a police state aimed at immigrants and citizens alike.

In case you are wondering what started some of the protests yesterday. It's so important to be witnesses to this, and to call your representatives to tell them that this is NOT what Americans want.

man oh man what a good idea it was for Democrats to stand shoulder to shoulder with ICE and talk about increasing spending for police

To be fair it's easy to be vindicated when your commitment is "the border Gestapo are evil and should not exist" Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

could not agree with this more

A beloved member of my organizing community was taken by ICE today during an immigration check-in. Please sign this petition demanding her release.

Helpful if you have been confused and puzzling through any of these things

this should be (but won't be, obviously) a central plank of a Democratic Party platform

it's incumbent on us that our organizing matches the urgency of this moment

This is an absolute must read.

#Orlando and Central Florida! We need you to help us as we expand into some exciting campaigns in the months ahead. An activist school! Office hours! Mutual aid! Get in the mix with us, no matter your skill set, there's a way for you to lead with Orlando #50501 !

Accept your fate, Chuck.

NYC, it is happening here. ICE agents in plain clothes waited outside a courtroom earlier today to kidnap people. New Yorkers mobilized quickly to block them, but the NYPD, collaborating with ICE, aggressively broke it up and arrested people. See thread for more videos from @gwynnefitz.bsky.social.

every time they lose the democrats do this

yeah that quote from adam squires is genuinely chilling

I have to keep restating this but I don’t care about convincing conservatives. They’re lost. I want liberals, progressives, and people who don’t yet understand they are liberals. We spend too much time trying to flip conservatives

It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

Fuck Newsom, fuck Slotkin, fuck every single Democrat who thinks the way out of the wilderness is by trampling over the bodies of trans people and immigrants and the unhoused.

We're glad to be taking Gilmore the Gator to the #podcast format! We've tackled #immigration, the #senate, exciting interviews...can't wait for you to have a listen!

In anti-authoritarian struggles, criticizing the regime for their blatant corruption is often one of the most important ways to mobilize the public and break through to regime supporters. The Trump regime is the most corrupt in US history—it’s worth repeating ad nauseam

also, dominate in non political conversation spaces

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

"What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians,” [former Prime Minister Olmert] said." www.huffpost.com/entry/israel...

Based Bill Burr giving the most based take

Centrists and libs get uncomfortable on platforms where there are more leftists than nazis around because it takes away their assumed and unearned sense of comparative righteousness. This does not stop a lot of them from trying to punch left to get it back however.

BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter has killed at least 25 Palestinians, mostly women and children, Gaza's Health Ministry said. The school was hit three times while people slept, setting their belongings ablaze, they added.

“How is the state forcing everyone to hold the correct political beliefs fascist?” Is a question that answers itself bsky.app/profile/smot...

We stay making political art here at PemCo. And we will never stop making human connections and creating with love and fighting the hate machine. #ImmigrantsAreWelcomeHere

Got some great #ConceptArt for our #animation short #comingsoon - Fin and Fiona, a lovely tale of beta fish, crap jobs, and the power of friendship and solidarity.

Los Angeles's Deputy Mayor for Public Safety called in a bomb threat to City Hall last year in an attempt to frame pro-Palestine organizers.

i too dream of a world where the actual messy business of being alive is outsourced to a machine, so I can finally achieve humanity's highest aims, endlessly sifting through slop, face aglow, mouth agape

Please don’t ask me for money if you’re keeping actively dying people not only holding seats but chairing committees in Congress

all but a tiny sliver of the information landscape - the infinitesimally small independent media - most people in this country are either passively ingesting right wing bullshit, actively seeking out right wing bullshit, or getting rightwing tinged bullshit masquerading as centrism

they are gutting the things in this country that make life worth living, all so people with more money than you could spend in a thousand lifetimes can have even more #GOPMurderBduget

There’s no Democratic Party age issue right Blue MAGA?

When I interviewed KKK leaders in Arkansas, this is what they said too. “We don’t hate anyone. We just love our own people.” Then they burned a cross.
